Chemotherapy has begun!

Osa had her post surgery followup and Oncologist review. It went well. Stitches are removed now and she is being treated with 15 minute IV infusions every 3 or 4 weeks for 5 total sessions. Her white cell count showed normal and will be monitored weekly for the first month. Thankfully yesterday and this morning she seems to be doing better, less crying and more energetic.
The vet tech suggested she might be over dramatizing a bit with her crying and I think Osa knows we are on to her now 😛 Under direction we are tapering off the gabapentin this week. We will see in the next few days if there is any side affects from the chemo treatment, but the shift in behavior is encouraging!

Soooo glad to hear you are seeing some improvement in her attitude! I know it is sooo hard to be positive when you see her not getting her sparkle back fast enough. Glad everything checked out okay and you were able to move forward.
I remember at the two week mark I delayed Happy Hannah’s first chemo because she was having such a slow recovery. I proceeded at the three week mark and she sailed through every treatment.
Keep us posted on sweet Osa…especially as you see her sparkle come back more and more!!
Hugs to all!

Glad to hear Osa’s doing well. Hopefully she’ll go through chemo like a champ. Thank you for the update.
